Flour Milling in Canada Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2013 -- The Flour Milling industry benefited from rising levels of per capita disposable income and product innovation over the past five years. As consumers had more disposable income, they increased demand for industry products, thereby benefiting industry producers. During this time, the world price of wheat increased. “This commodity is a primary input in several industry products and its price increase over the five-year period enabled many of the larger industry players to pass cost increases to consumers in the form of higher product prices,” according to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Jeffrey Cohen. As this occurred, downstream markets such as grocery wholesalers and retailers drove demand for industry products. Overall, industry revenue increased at an annualized rate of 0.6% to an estimated $2.0 billion in the five years to 2013. This includes expected growth of 0.2% in 2013.
Over the past five years, a growing number of consumers became more health conscious, causing them to be more aware of the negative health effects that result from eating high-sodium foods. This caused consumers to reduce demand for products that were perceived to be unhealthy and industry producers responded by introducing healthy versions of their existing products.
The industry is anticipated to experience faster revenue growth over the five years to 2018. “A factor that will be responsible for this trend is an increase in per capita disposable income, which drives demand for industry products among consumers,” says Cohen. Also, during this time consumers will continue to demand healthier versions of existing products, allowing operators to expand their customer base. Furthermore, producers will respond by introducing a greater variety of healthy products.
